Have you asked your host? It sounds like your server has been compromised.

I didn’t spend much time looking at it because I had to get a site live very quickly, so I didn’t use it.

I’m going to run into the same issue again very soon though on another site.

Actually, you can change the […] to a clickable read more link. I blogged about this earlier this month here: [Redacted]

danroc – go into your files through cpanel and navigate to the plugins directory. Delete IPCCP. Reload your site.

Yes, too many plugins will slow your site down. Many plugins cause loads on the server even when they are not activated.
Loads of discussion about this on blogs so it might be worth your time to spend some time with Google ??

This error will occur if allow_url_fopen is off on the server, or if Twitter is not responding.

If allow_url_fopen is disabled on your server, modify the plugin to use cURL. If Twitter is down there isn’t much you can do about that.

It would, however, be good to see the plugin output something prettier instead of this error for those times when Twitter doesn’t respond.
